Who Runs This Country?

 

1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who

run the

country.

 

2. The Washington Post is read by people who think

they run the

country.

 

3. The New York Times is read by people who think they

should run

the

country and who are very good at crossword puzzles.

 

4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to

run the

country

but don't really understand The New York Times. They

do, however,

like

their statistics shown in pie charts.

 

5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who

wouldn't mind running

the country -- if they could find the time -- and if

they didn't

have

to leave Southern California to do it.

 

6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents

used to run the

country and did a far superior job of it, thank you

very much.

 

7. The New York Daily News is read by people who

aren't too sure

who's

running the country and don't really care as long as

they can get a

seat on the train.

 

8. The New York Post is read by people who don't care

who's running

the country as long as they do something really

scandalous,

preferably

while intoxicated.

 

9. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running

another

country

but need the baseball scores.

 

10. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who

aren't sure

there

is a country .. or that anyone is running it; but if

so, they oppose

all that they stand for. There are occasional

exceptions if the

leaders

are a handicapped minority who also happen to be from

any other

country or galaxy, provided, of course, that they are

not

Republicans.

 

11. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in

line at the

grocery store.

 

12. None of these are read by the guy who is running

the country

into

the ground.
